I can not speak highly enough about this tool, Firewall Security Manager. Using the Cisco ASA Firewall trying to identify which rules were needed and which were not (a lot of rules on it), it was becoming frustrating. THen finding out what was compliant as far as the configuration goes was taking me hours if not days. But since I got Firewall Security Manager all of this has become a breeze to take care of with just a few clicks, everything is automated. I find out what rules are repeated, what rules are not needed, and what rules would be better optimized. Compliance checking of the firewall has become such a breeze, that with-in a few minutes, instead of hours or days, I get the results I want, and am able to fix any problems in no time at all. Kudos to SolarWinds for making Firewall Security Manager you have made my life easier.
- What was life like before using SolarWinds? (Include what you were using and why you decided it was time for a change) Life was hectic to say the least, there was no tool I could use to make it any easier, many hours wasted if not days wasted on firewalls alone.
- Which SolarWinds product(s) saved your bacon? Firewall Security Manager
- Did you consider other options, and why did you choose SolarWinds? I looked for other options but could not find anything that would meet my needs, nor my company needs.
- How has life been since you've rolled out SolarWinds in your environment? Life has been so much easier, what was taking me hours and even days to accomplish now is taking me a few minutes of point and click with Firewall Security Manager to get the results I need, and the fixes I want.
